The D variant of encephalomyocarditis (EMC-D) virus causes diabetes in susceptible mice by direct cytolysis of pancreatic beta-cells. cDNA covering the major outer capsid protein (VP1) of the EMC-D virus was cloned into Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG). None of the SJL/J mice immunized with live recombinant BCG-VP1 (rBCG-VP1) became diabetic when challenged with the highly dia...

At the 2022 International Symposium on EMC+SIPI, EMC Society Young Professionals (YPs) will once again be hosting a few fun and exciting events. ALL members attendees of are welcome (not only YPs!).

One of the seminal events in the history of a tissue is the establishment of the anterior-posterior, dorsal-ventral (D/V) and proximal-distal axes. Axis formation is important for the regional specification of a tissue and allows cells along the different axes to obtain directional and positional information. Within the Drosophila retina, D/V axis formation is essential to ensure that each unit...

Research indicates that users of thermally modified wood lack information regarding the improved performance and any variations may exist for “same” product when manufactured by different companies. The goal this study was to evaluate variability in mechanical properties three hardwoods determine between manufacturers. To hardness, bending (modulus elasticity module rupture) shrinkage values, t...

OBJECTIVES A persistent infection of enteroviruses and cardioviruses has been implicated in polymyositis and dermatomyositis, but conventional hybridisation studies of the presence of enterovirus RNA and encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus RNA in affected muscle have yielded conflicting results. To investigate further the possibility of viral persistence, the presence of viral RNA in muscle from p...

Encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase was expressed in Escherichia coli as a fusion protein with glutathione S-transferase (GST), which allowed easy purification of the fusion protein by affinity chromatography on immobilized glutathione. Inclusion of a thrombin cleavage site between the GST carrier and the viral enzyme facilitated the release of purified mature EMC viru...

BACKGROUND A wide variety of kidney diseases ultimately lead to tubulointerstitial damage. The initial site of injury is usually the renal tubules, with activation of fibroblasts occurring later. Self-limited disease is characterized by transient cellular activation with timed deactivation and ultimately a return to normal functioning, whereas sustained responses characterize chronic disease an...

This white paper describes various challenges posed by upgrade, migration, and replatforming activities in the journey to the SAP cloud. The paper also explains how EMC uses SNP AG Transformation Backbone (T-Bone) software to reduce risk and shrink the downtime window.

The paper presents a computer analysis of inductive coupling of the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problem. Its focus is on power electronics and electrical drives and tests performed by a numerical computer simulation that can disclose suite surprising findings about EMC problems.

Even though recently published results indicated that residual strains of the epoxy molding compound (EMC) play a key role on the warpage values and shapes of the plastic ball grid array (PBGA) packages, it is still unknown about how these residual strains build up and change during the manufacturing and infrared (IR) solder reflow processes. The purpose of this study is to quantify the residua...
